Installation
Server Requirements: – PHP 7.2 or higher – GD extension (required) – used to generate avatar images. FreeType support is recommended for the best text rendering; without it the plugin falls back to built-in bitmap fonts and Chinese characters cannot be rendered. – mbstring extension (required) – used to handle multibyte (e.g. Chinese) user names.
The plugin checks for the required extensions on load. If any are missing, it stays inactive and shows an admin notice instead of causing a fatal error.
- Upload the plug-in ZIP file to the
/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install it directly in the WordPress backend. - Activate **JennyStudio Identifications ** on the Plugins page.
- Configurations are not required, it takes effect automatically!
FAQ
-
Which PHP extensions does this plugin require?
-
The GD extension is required to generate avatar images (FreeType support is recommended for full TTF font rendering, including Chinese characters), and the mbstring extension is required to handle multibyte user names. If either is missing, the plugin deactivates its avatar features and displays a notice in the admin panel.
-
Will this plugin affect uploaded custom avatars?
-
No. If the user has uploaded an avatar (via BuddyPress or WordPress default), the plug-in will give priority to the uploaded avatar.
-
How to customize the avatar style?
-
By default, the avatar style is automatically generated by the plugin and requires no setup. You can configure the avatar’s background color and text color in the Settings Discussion page in the admin panel.
-
Do you support Multisite?
-
Yes, the plug-in is compatible with the WordPress Multisite environment.
